ADA + Disability Accommodation in Virginia
Virginia disabled employees are protected by the federal ADA (15+ employees) + state law — employers must engage in interactive process + provide reasonable accommodations unless undue hardship.
Age Discrimination in Virginia
Virginia workers age 40+ are protected by the federal ADEA + state law from age discrimination — but the Supreme Court's Gross v. FBL standard requires "but-for" causation, making cases harder than other discrimination claims.

Copyright is purely federal — registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, enforced through federal district courts. Virginia infringement cases are filed in U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Virginia.
